Yup. People want the good news, deliver me the gospel oh lord! Tell me I can eat unlimited food and still lose weight, it must be true... please lord? Sorry, no. Weigh yourself daily. Average weekly. If weekly average doesn't go down, you're not in a deficit. Physics cannot be cheated, ever, by anyone. You're either undercounting calories or overestimating exercise calories burned. Probably a combination for most people (though probably more on the undercounting calories).

Obviously, it’s still possible to lose weight on any diet - just eat fewer calories than you burn, right? The problem with this simplistic advice is that it ignores the elephant in the room: hunger. Most people don’t like to “just eat less,” as it may result in having to go hungry forever. Sooner or later, many will likely give up and eat without restriction, hence the prevalence of “yo-yo dieting.” While it should be possible to lose weight on any diet, some appear to make it easier and some to make it much harder. The main advantage of the low-carb diet is that it may cause you to want to eat less. Even without counting calories,. overweight people tend to eat fewer calories on low carb. Thus, calories count, but you don’t need to count them.

@@d.bcooper2271studies showed people ate less on a higher carb diet sooooo

​​@@d.bcooper2271ro, that was a lengthy ass way of saying any style of eating that appreciates satiety and depreciates hunger will allow people to lose weight because they become coincidentally more likely to be in a deficit. Uh, yea, that's correct, but calories still need to be monitored for those who still fucking overeat on low carb diets. Which, statistically, tend to be LESS satiating than higher carb diets.

@@d.bcooper2271You already mentioned this on another comment section here, so either 1. You’re a bot or 2. You’re lying or 3. You’re both.

That’s why it’s important to watch how your body responds and adjust, rather than just trusting that whatever number an online calculator spat out is _the_ answer. If you believe you’re eating 2,000 and not losing, go to 1,800. If that doesn’t work, take it to 1,600. At some point the laws of physics say you will lose weight. Sure, it stinks when your hormones or your lifestyle mean you have to go lower than someone else, but that’s life. Good news is if you do it right it’s temporary work for lifelong benefits. If you can lose 0.8% of your bodyweight each week for 12 weeks, that’s almost a 10% reduction, enough to reap huge health improvements.

Statistically it's unlikely that everything you eat is 20% higher in calories the label says it is. That's like an upper margin of error, or maybe within 2 standard deviations of the mean (what the label says). Some food will be lower in calories than the label says.

@@rumble2468 That too. People hear that little tidbit and assume there’s some grand conspiracy to misreport Calories, like the FDA says, “Your test results said 100 Calories but you want to report it as 80? Cool with us.” The purpose of that rule is to allow for some variation between batches. When the FDA comes around and randomly samples some of your products to test, that item has to land within 20% of the stated value.

@@Magic_beans_ While I agree with you, I can imagine some companies could mess with the numbers to make people think they are eating less than they actually are and eat more of their product to make more profit.

It’s true…if it’s a perceived deficit I think I need 2500 cal a day. So if I eat 2200 a day I’ll lose weight. But in actual fact, you only need 2100 to maintain, and you are eating 100 cal extra a day…gaining 1lb a month or so on what you think is a diet. It’s an experiment. You reduce a bit…hold for a few weeks and see where it goes. Then adjust. A pound a week. That’s a reduction of 500 cal a day…3500cal in a pound of fat. That’s aggressive and probably unsustainable. Maybe go for 2lbs a month. Remember…you didn’t go to bed skinny and wake up overweight. You also won’t go to bed overweight and wake up skinny.

To be super charitable you probably can gain scale weight as water. But we obviously are talking about fat. And if you are gaining fat it's by definition not a deficit haha

Yup and apparently you can start losing weight in a surplus because obviously you stopped losing weight because uR nOT eaTiNg eNuFF!!

Rick. Best way is to Get a fitness tracker. Don’t look at the numbers on it for actual calories, just get a daily, weekly and monthly trend. Once you have a base line and average number, you can tell what days you did more or less activity. If your activity is consistent, your eating consistently, and no weight is moving, you need to add activity or subtract food to lose weight. Or if you want to gain weight, you need to add food. It could be as easy as walking a couple miles a day, and not having that handful of nuts….or using half a table spoon of oil to cook instead of the full one. Until it’s habit, you need to track everything right down to the gram. As you get better with judging portions and closer to your goal, you can start slacking on the tracking bit…but you still have to stay disciplined on portioning. You don’t just start glugging oil in the frying pan. You will know what a tablespoon full looks like in the pan. Then you carefully watch your weight, do spot checks on a food tracker now and then. Guess the weight of things, and weigh them out to check…it’s slow going….but it’s doable. Slowly add in extra activity…I’m talking small walks, chop a few logs, take the stairs. Walk up and down the stairs a few times a day on purpose. Anything extraneous to your usual day activity will add to your deficit. It’s called NEAT, Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenisis. It’s what you do as a matter of course every day outside the gym.

You solved world hunger.

What's also funny is that this "doctor" says that insulin blocks fat from being utilized, it will down regulate fat oxidation but will not eliminate it completely, which is basic physiology, and something that this "doctor" should have learned in their undergrad.

It’s common to have severe water retention for some people when cardio is really high. But it’s just water unless of course you were severely overeating then it’s fat also

Damn later in the video you mentioned rules of thermodynamics

Man I feel your pain, I once bought a 5kg tub of PB so I could have a teaspoon with my breakfast everyday. Ate the whole thing in one go!

It also just takes a lot of experience, I've tracked my food for ages and estimating my intake is definitely a skill I've honed over the years. Expenditure I'm even worse at, I've had my watch for nearly two years, all I know if it registers 1000kcal+ AND I'm feeling hungry, I probably should eat, otherwise I can generally ignore it.

Yeah, not healthy nor filling/satiating at all.

you can eat 4000 junk food calories or 2000 vegetables & 2000 meat calories, you may not have vitamin deficits, however your body will still store fat just the same as you are consuming more calories then you are burning off.

Thats great. Are there any side effects?

@@johnkowalsky1988 Yes, I’d get nausea the first few days after I’d inject myself and my heart would race throughout the week. I stayed on it for 7 weeks before I was advised by my endocrinologist to stop taking the injections. I lost a total of 20 lbs and even though I’ve stopped the injections about 6 weeks ago I have not regained the weight, but I have noticed my appetite is finally back. I’ve just download the Carbon app to help me stay in a deficit. I am hoping to keep that weight off.

It’s rare I laugh out loud at a comment!!!

At 1200 calories you were almost certainly in a pretty significant deficit. Mostly carbs and no resistance training tells me most of that 6kg was likely muscle and a small amount of fat.

@@BenGoodbrand I doubt "most of that weight was muscle" he did probably burn off a higher percentage of muscle to fat compared to someone weight training and consuming protein but not a majority of the weight from muscle. You think he had 4 inchs in ab muscles he lost around his waist? No.

@@nikmo7360 3kg of muscle would have been easy to lose in his scenario.

@@BenGoodbrand First up, I'm a woman. When I put on weight it stores in my hips, thighs and butt. I weighed 64 kgs and dropped to 58 kgs. I had 42 inch hips and dropped to 38 inches and dropped a complete pant size. I definitely lost fat, but also would have lost some muscle. My comment was related to the person in the video saying you can't lose weight in a calorie deficit, when you definitely can.

@@amandajane28 I know you're a woman. The name gives it away.

People also make mistakes in tracking by not noticing the difference between cooked and raw meat. With fattier meats that can make huge difference.

How many times do you have to copy and paste the same comment, over and over again?

Be patient, don’t put too much stock in daily weight fluctuations

Imagine our bodies were 'that' incredible. My best guess it comes from people getting less active as they have less energy, for example if I force 1200kcal I lose the same amount of weight as I do at 1600kcal (same counting inaccuracies so actual number is unimportant) because at 1200 I'm always cold and have to force 10k steps, where-as at 1600 I'm always warm, more active, stand more, until I get to the point my hormonal health goes at least.

It’s not entirely false. It has mostly to do with the body shutting off a lot of its usual calorie burn and central metabolism dropping. It’s not usually because you eat too little tho. It’s more so because of dieting for a long period and your body and brain readjusting its center points for your weight and caloric expenditure based off of your new daily intake

They're not telling you about the binge eating that's more likely to occur when being deprived for so long.

As others already pointed towards, I believe that it is most often the adaption of the body, and people not adjusting to that. On a diet, over time, the body starts to lower energy expenditure - body temperature, motivation to move, things like little movements like gesture and feet and so forth. This means that someone who lost weight on a certain amount of calories before, will not continue to lose weight and would have to adjust accordingly. On the other side, there will be some people who use this rather emotional wording so they don't have to face that they may have been snacking, may have been skipping the gym or the walks and so on. Not that they did it on purpose or lied, but in my opinion, most often because their diet wasn't adjusted appropriately so they can adhere to it. There's also people who just can't do it, who make excuses no matter what, who self-sabotage themselves, who unintentionally or intentionally lie and so forth.
